Common questions in Lower Holloway
Which station is closest to Lower Holloway?
Guests can use Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, about 0.5 miles south of Lower Holloway.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St David?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cater in Lower Holloway?
We do. We serve at events in Lower Holloway and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Have plenty of water available
- Ensure drivers have good choices
If timings change, tell us and we will adjust.
Tell us what glassware you need and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
